Match Commentary

80'Rory Best, Ireland captain: "We knew to come here and get a victory was going to take a massive performance. We dug really deep to get that win -- there's a lot of boys running on empty there. We had to just keep going at them, we knew we had to take the game to them and credit to the boys -- the half-backs ran the game and a couple of boys came in at the end there to see us over the line."
80'South Africa captain Adriaan Strauss: "Easy mistakes and indiscipline ultimately cost us on the night. I think at times we did play good rugby but every time we got some momentum we lost the ball. The result is the most important thing and we're disappointed."
80'Devin Toner, named man of the match, speaks in stadium: "We did a lot of homework -- we put a lot of work into our defence. We're trying to get off the line and put some hits in. Thankfully it paid off today but that is really down to our homework."
